O.J. Mayo- "They kinda do a lot of Flopping" (P. 2)

I hate it when dudes like this lostcity88 guy is now trying to say he's a fan of both when he is clearly a laker fan lurking around here. This guy is the epitome of someone trying to give himself options so he can abandon ships which ever team lasts longer. The fact that he's saying how we hate the lakers shows the banner we have isn't big enough for this guy apprehend. The only thing lost in this city to me is them f***** FAKERS... **** THE LAKERS!!!!!

You don't even know me how can you say i'm not a fan of both. I live in LA and i like basketball. I cheer for both teams that happened to play in Los Angeles. I want both teams to do go and if they meet in the playoffs let the better LA team win. I hate it when dude wear shades to try to look tough when they're not

Hahahahahaha!

This reminded me of my late grandfather. He was watching a fight on TV (pretty sure it was Marvin Hagler vs. Sugar Ray Leonard) and when I came in and asked him "Who's winning?", he said "The black fella's definitely going to win."

I told him "You should have laid a bet."

He couldn't lose - they're BOTH black.

Maybe this year I'll be a fan of every team that makes the playoffs.

Raja bell, andres nocioni, vujacic, and rudy fernandez are all know floppers and are not important players. When did I bash them, i was making comparisons, I said matt barnes is the reggie evans for the lakers. Anyone who actually watches both teams constantly would see this. And i questioned if barnes is a thug, then what is kmart? I don't care about a guy's reputation, if a guy like barnes or kmart play what you all call thug basketball but he can help u win, i'll take him on my team anyday.

Take it easy guys. Lakers fan or not... everybody is welcome here. Lostcity you have to remember that as a Lakers fan you're going to be judged more harshly just like we are on Lakers boards. Paolo and Cleepers can we try to keep this classy? Even if you guys were instigated a bit let's prove we are above petty fights. I understand Lakers come here and troll.... but leave it to the mods to ban them and deal with it.

Trying to be a fan of both the Lakers and clippers is pretty retarded. Who do you root for when they play eachother? What do you do when the playoff races get tight? Root louder for whichever team is doing better? You know what we call people like that around these parts? Bandwagoners. Lets say you go to a Clipper/Laker game, you're rockin a Kobe jersey but Lakers lose, you gonna be cheering after the game when Clippers win? You look silly, brosuf. I don't care which team you pick, but pick one. You looking real foolish trying to support both.

Yea i get it what you mean, but my whole point was that i'm gonna say something if someone says an idiotic remark or lacks knowledge. For example barnes is a bum, bynum is a bum, sessions won't make a big impact and that goes both ways when someone tells me all blake griffin can do is dunk, reggie evans is a bum, all the clippers do is throw lobs im gonna say something. I never once said clippers fans sucked or bashed any clipper players that play hard.

Looking foolish is using the term retarded. I don't rock any jerseys when they play each other. I root for both to make the playoffs and do well. And also if they meet in the playoffs and you ask me who do you think is gonna win, I'm gonna give you an answer. People act like its hard to root for both, it's not like I said I'm a fan of the celtics and the lakers.

Wasn't trying to start anything, '86.

We all have our differences criticizing our own players, but ultimately we're all rooting for the Clips to succeed. When a person says they are a fan of both the Clippers and lakers and neutral when they play each other cannot, by definition, be a 'fan' of either team. Being a fan of any team in it's simplest incarnation is wanting that team to succeed against all others.

Add to that the fact that 95% of his posts are in defense of lakers players or agreeing with outside criticism of the Clips, and his loyalty is clear. That's all I said and I stand by it.

At worst, he's a badly disguised troll and at best a bandwagon fan who will root for whoever wins.

And lostcity, I only tell you this because I was a "fan" of both the Lakers and Clippers at one point. All my friends would always tell me to pick a side, and pretty much what I told you, that it's ridiculous to try to root for both. I remember watching Clippers and Lakers play last year, and rooting for the clippers like I've never rooted for them like I never have before...a team had been chosen, even though I had always liked the clippers more, I felt inclined to support the Lakers cause all my friends and family were fans. Really, think about how silly you look trying to support two basketball teams from the same city.

Peer pressured? Not really, I just realized how idiotic it was to try to support two LA basketball teams. And I ALWAYS felt more loyality to the clippers, just felt obligated to support the Lakers as well. Trust me bro, you'll feel better if you just pick a side and run with them. Like I said, I don't give a damn which one you choose, but there's a sense of pride you feel when YOUR team wins as opposed to the team you're rooting for at the moment.

@lostcity

On a more relevant note, I would rather see Nick Young get comfortable and become our starting 2 guard than cut down on our salary that we need for both Blake's and CP3's max contracts. We'll start to attract more ring chasing vets that we would only have to pay minimum veteran salary for and keep the guys we need for the long haul.

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is awesome... completely missed the point of the thread... but you guys are ammusing us... Lostcity sorry to tell ya.... the lakers (vlade and fisher) wrote the book on flopping........... griffin has to flop (you the league calls it) since he's so STRONG (unlike gasoft) griffin gets bumped nothing happens unless he flops.... gasoft's hair gets touched he ends up in the 3 row....

Flopping is part of basketball now..... so just deal with it people... just deal with it!!!

I am sorry... but this thread is WAY too off topic. But for the record, I tend to agree with all the older members of the CTB community...

TO GET BACK ON TRACK:

I do find it upsetting how two sided some of us Clipper fans have become though... When we had squads that did NOT flop, we talked **** about the teams and players that DID flop (and rightfully so). As a grown man and a professional athlete I find it pathetic that you would have to flop in the league. But now that we have players that are flopping, we are turning heads and saying, "yeah, but others are doing it as well." I just find that a bit hard to swallow... Does winning help subdue our opinions of weak and cheap basketball? Apparently. I do not mind our winning ways now, but I do feel like we are losing a lot of values older Clipper squads had. So as a Clipper fan - - - (SOLELY a Clipper fan, because Lord knows it is a FARCE to be able to be a fan of LA basketball - you ALWAYS have a soft spot for one team over the other, and a bit of resentment towards the other) - - - and as a one dimensional fan, that stays true to himself, I will continue to root for MY team, but I will frown upon MY team when they make cheap plays...

All I am trying to say is... CLIPPER NATION do not let our winning and new sense of fame destroy your old values... Do not FLakerize your fandom. Stick to your values, Lord knows the players and management will come and go... the only thing that stays is your LOYALTY and the TEAM.

unfortunately flopping is now part of the NBA. for every team. people beat around the bush and say "its reprehensible that players flop" but i dont think NBA players are going to be confused with hockey players regarding toughness. thats why i mentioned that the nba is the new soccer league. its not cool that players flop, but until the nba does something about it, and enforces their rules EQUALLY not with bias for certain teams (flakers, spurs, celtics, heat, im looking at you), then we will have floppers, regardless of what team they play for. old clips squads had floppers as well, but this team has a target on their back because of the two superstars that play for us (cp3, BG) and their propensity for highlight plays. everything this team does is eccentuated. thats why people talk S*** about us flopping. before this season, no one cared if that happened. where was the backlash last season?

Sam Cassell flopped...A lot. Like others have said, flopping is part of the game so it goes with the territory. Some players flop more than others but it's still flopping. Until there is a crackdown on this, players will always use it to gain an advantage.

It's no different than offensive players swinging up to get a foul...Again, Sam Cassell did that a lot. If we want to go further, how about offensive players faking, or waiting for the defensive player to jump sop they get to the line? What's the difference? There is none in my book.

let's say we flop, and mayo comments on it after the game. they'll play another team the flops, and after the game mayo won't say anything about it. not saying mayo's lying, I'm just saying that the only reason he brought it up was cause it seems to be "the thing to do" nowadays.

not really, it's one of those things were if your opposition does it, you hate it. but if you do it, it's good. I hate ginobli, but if he was a clipper he'd be my favorite player. something like that as an example. ( i thing ginobli's friggin amazing regardless.). plus, it's our team. if we don't defend them then who will. as fans we have little bit of bias towards our team, at least I do anyways.

That's the ticket. A flop deffensive or offensive it's a FLOP period.... i said it before and i'll repeat it again....

"THE FLAKERS WROTE TO BOOK ON FLOPPING."

Listen to what the "lakers" Coach says. remember vlade was a LAKER before he was traded to sac...
